Becoming a life winner from infancy

Chapter 320 It's not me who's wrong, it's puberty!

As is well known, human children are a type that is particularly prone to illness and frailty.

According to statistics reports by experts, the time we spent in hospitals and the injections we received from age 0 to 12 might account for about 80% of our entire lives.

Even lively children like Xia Nuo could end up getting sick, hospitalized, and medicated due to playing in the rain or staying in the air conditioning and catching a cold.

Although Nuo Nuo, who had grown up healthy, got sick much less often than other children, she had an abnormal benchmark in her life, which was why she didn't have such an awareness—

That was, the all-capable and healthy child, Emperor Youyou!

Fang You, who possessed the Golden Talent "Immune Strengthening" and various other physical enhancement talents, hardly ever worried his parents and rarely visited the hospital.

To be precise, after the age of eight, except for vaccinations and accompanying Nuo Nuo to the hospital for injections, Fang You practically had no other reasons to visit the hospital.

Whenever Nuo Nuo was sick, Fang You was always there by her side to take care of her.

And as for memories of Fang You being sick, those were practically non-existent in Xia Nuo's mind.

This was probably why Xia Nuo was so excited.

Perhaps realizing that she had been too excited and lost her composure earlier, Xia Nuo tried hard to squeeze out a worried expression, cautiously approached Fang You, and reached out to touch his cheek.

"How bad can a toothache get? Let me have a look... Did a tooth fall out? Open your mouth, let me see..."

Xia Nuo leaned in front of Fang You, hoping he would open his mouth, but Fang You crossed his arms in a gesture of refusal.

"Nuo Nuo, don't force Youyou, he seems to really be in pain."

Luo Xianyu, who was nearby, appeared concerned for the little father Fang You; Ayu rarely showed such a filial side, which was nice!

"Then... then I'll take you to the hospital!"

[No need, I can bear it] Fang You typed at lightning speed for Xia Nuo to see.

"Toothache isn't a disease, but the pain can really be killing. I felt the same when my wisdom tooth got inflamed last time..."

Even the usually unflappable master had such an expression on his face, it must be super painful!

Meng Qing seemed to recall some past events, holding her cheek as if feeling phantom pain, "Later we can buy some metronidazole or bezoar pills to reduce inflammation, that can also ease the pain... Why not let your parents know first?"

[Let's wait until the competition is over and the results are announced]

Fang You, holding his cheek, typed at lightning speed—

[I can endure]

"You must tell us if you can't hold on!"

"How about this? There's probably some time until the end, so I'll go outside and buy some anti-inflammatory medication."

"Then I'll trouble Sister Meng Qing!"

Xia Nuo and Luo Xianyu supported Fang You as they found a place to sit down. At that moment, Xia Nuo suddenly remembered something, and ran over to Sister Meng Qing, seemingly to consult her about something.

...

Perhaps it was actually a good thing that Nuo Nuo wasn't by his side right now.

Fang You wasn't typically talkative, but when he saw Xia Nuo doing something foolish, he couldn't help but want to tease her, sometimes asking impulsively.

Of course, that might be because he was too uninhibited in front of Nuo Nuo.

Luo Xianyu was curiously watching Fang You at that moment.

"Youyou, have you been eating a lot of sweets lately? My teeth also hurt when I eat too much sugar, but if you need a filling, you should get it done now. Otherwise, you'll have to do a root canal later. I saw the treatment brochure at the hospital, they have to punch through your tooth with a nail, and then fit a crown on it, it's really scary, I'm telling you..."

Although you're trying to comfort me, this is a rather weird way to do it—

It wasn't long before Xia Nuo came running back in a panic.

She seemed to have gotten a bag of ice from the staff.

"Sister Meng Qing said that using ice to cool it down can help with toothache pain. Try this."

Fang You shook his head, unenthusiastic.

But at that moment, Xia Nuo no longer had the playful demeanor from earlier; her expression had turned very serious.

"You're in so much pain you can't even talk, yet you're still trying to tough it out. Stop being so stubborn and vain!"

Then she confronted Fang You, "If you're really okay, then say something!"

You... can't possibly have x-ray vision, can you?

Fang You was caught in Xia Nuo's grip with nowhere to turn, so he slowly released his hands from his face.

Xia Nuo cried out the moment she saw Fang You's face.

"Ah! Your face is all like this!"

"I feel like your right cheek is a little swollen."

"What do you think, Ayu?"

...

At first glance, Luo Xianyu didn't notice anything, but after Xia Nuo pointed it out, she started to feel more and more like it was indeed swollen.

"Ah! I also feel... especially here."

Luo Xianyu, attempting to gently touch Fang You's right cheek, was stopped as Xia Nuo grabbed her arm.

"Don't touch him now, he must be in a lot of pain; let me do it."

Xia Nuo picked up the ice pack and carefully placed it on Fang You's face, his mouth involuntarily twitching, but he endured without making a sound and showed a gesture of endurance.

"It's normal to feel the coldness."

Even though Fang You wanted to press the ice pack himself, Xia Nuo didn't give him the chance.

However, maintaining that position for a long time caused Xia Nuo to feel quite exhausted; her hand seemed to shake a little.

Hmm, good... If I can't hold on any longer, I'll let him do it himself.

At that moment, Xia Nuo finally set down the ice pack and softly asked Fang You:

"Why don't you lie down and rest?"

...

Ah?

Xia Nuo made Fang You lie on his side in her arms, exposing only his right cheek, this way she could directly apply the ice pack to his face.

Sitting like this will be uncomfortable for You You as well...

Seeing Fang You lying in an uncomfortable position sideways, Luo Xianyu, wanting to feel somewhat involved and not wanting to get up from her seat for fear of tiring herself, lifted Fang You's legs onto her own and began to gently rub them.

"I'll take care of You You too!"

"Then I'll leave You You's lower body to you!"

Xia Nuo gave Luo Xianyu a thumbs-up.

Meanwhile, inspired by her own idea, Xia Nuo decided to free up one hand to rub Fang You's shoulder.

...

What does all this have to do with a toothache! You're just satisfying your own desire to take care of someone, right...

Nuo Nuo genuinely wanted to take good care of Fang You, to make him feel comfortable; she knew he was enduring a lot, so she pressed very hard.

But Ayu was clearly just pretending to rub his legs, barely using any strength at all.

She wasn't someone with much physical strength to begin with.

In terms of how the leg feels, perhaps due to frequent exercise, Nuo Nuo's thighs were a bit more firm when lying down, but still quite fleshy;

whereas Ayu's thighs were soft and squishy, noticeably compressible, but actually Ayu had a rather slender figure, not particularly comfortable to lie on.

Indeed, Nuo Nuo was the best.

?

Why am I having such terrible thoughts at a time like this?

Fang You gradually felt that he was becoming less pure.

Ah, it's not my fault, it's puberty's fault!

If I speak up to stop them, I'll fail the task, but if I resist directly with actions, Nuo Nuo will see it as a shy gesture.

There's no point in pretending now.

A true man knows when to bend and when to stand tall, today's compromise is for tomorrow's steadfastness!

Fang You was using his Talent "Endurance"!

Unconsciously, beads of sweat started to form on his forehead.
